A CNN panel hosted by anchor Don Lemon took turns lacing into Kanye West on Tuesday evening, joking that his embrace of President Donald Trump has caused him to be tokenized. Several referred to him using the term “negro.”

“He’s an attention whore, like the president. He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson. He’s the token negro of the Trump administration,” said CNN contributor Tara Setmeyer.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. See, it’s okay if they do it. An otherwise shameful take on the “N” word is okay on CNN (from liberals). HOWEVER! The “M” word is strictly off limits (as applied to liberals:

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin refused to let one of her guests refer to rowdy far-left activists who opposed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a “mob,” saying that she did not want to use the “m-word.”

The comment came from senior Daily Beast columnist and CNN contributor Matt Lewis, who said that the increasing confrontations initiated by far-left protesters will drive GOP turnout at the polls this fall.

I wonder if “token mob” would be acceptable?

No, seriously, there’s no reason to watch this clown network. Hasn’t been for years.

Chalk this one up to most people being idiots. That, or general anti-Christian sentiment.

Yesterday’s TPC column, syndicated here, on the recent Church abuse report has generated interest. The episodes detailed therein are the tip of a deep, dark iceberg. The abuse calls out to Heaven for justice. But any justice needs to be tailored to the appropriate offenders, the actual offenders.

A Catholic priest was beaten while praying at his church in Merrillville, Indiana, and authorities are investigating the attack as a hate crime.

The Rev. Basil John Hutsko told police he was attacked Monday morning inside the St. Michaels Byzantine Catholic Church as he was praying in the sacristy.

The attacker “grabbed him by the neck, threw him down on the floor and immediately started slamming his head against the floor. Both sides, front and back,” Merrillville Police Chief Joseph Petruch told CNN affiliate WBBM.

The assailant left Hutsko battered, bruised and unconscious. And during the assault the attacker yelled, “‘This is for all the little kids,'” Petruch said.

It was an apparent reference to the clergy sex abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church in recent years. Just last week an explosive grand jury report out of Pennsylvania detailed decades of abuse of children by more than 300 priests in that state.

“I have enough there to say it’s a hate crime,” the police chief said.

That’s why the FBI has been called in on the case.

Efforts by CNN to reach Merrillville police and Hutsko on Wednesday were unsuccessful.

Detective Sean Buck of the Merrillville Police Department told CNN that Hutsko was attacked in a dimly lit area and was unable to provide many identifying details about the suspect. The priest lost consciousness during the attack, Buck said.

A fellow priest said Hutsko has never been accused of sex abuse.

“He’s a very dedicated priest and hardworking and in good standing, it’s just a random act of an innocent priest,” the Rev. Thomas Loya told CNN affiliate WGN.
Loya said he’s not surprised by the attack because of the recent headlines.

“The stories are very ugly, you know, let’s face it, and very unbecoming of the church so I can see where some people might become enraged,” he said. “But at the same time people get enraged and do this to an innocent priest and that’s not going to help or solve anything.”

Hutsko sustained bruises to his head and was treated at a hospital and released. No one’s been arrested so far in the case.

The Byzantine Catholic Church is the GREEK Byzantine Catholic Church. Greek. Orthodox. That’s different from the Roman or Latin Catholic Church. While not as prolific as their Protestant Sisters, there are some 20 or so “Catholic” Churches. Similar but different. Different Rites, histories, hierarchies, etc. As I’ve noted previously, the Eastern, Orthodox branches have not suffered many of the modern afflictions of the Latin Church of Rome.

I’m getting around to that survey of American distrust of institutions, to include the televised news. That particular industry is utterly dead and gone. Someone should bury or burn it before the flies start breeding.

They have three kinds of stories now: laughable lies; outrageous lies; and acid-trip crazy lies. It’s all fake news.

The other night I watched Fox for a minute. They were lying about Syria. Something about bombing (based on a lie, built on other lies). At least the legs network still trots out real human beings to support the fantasies – John Bolton, Newt, Nikki Haley, etc. Things are even worse at CNN.

F*cking Elmo… Elmo, the retarded, red menace, cartoon puppet from a well-past-prime children’s show, is now a guest contributor to CNN’s “news.”

Not kidding:

Fake News Network / YouTube.

Someone should have stepped on Elmo when Robert D. Raiford suggested the same in 1998. It’s time to do it do it with the “traditional” news. In little more than a generation we’ve gone from Walter Cronkite to Mr. Noodle’s deranged little neighbor.

It’s a wonder there’s any trust left at all. Turn off the TeeVee and smash it with a hammer.

**I saw this when I logged in and had to re-post. So, this is what “real” news looks like? This is so pathetic it actually stands out from the new normal of dismal cultural decay. These people are already defeated. I don’t think I ever used the word “cucks” here until just now.

THIS IS CNN. During a conversation about yesterday’s OSU terrorist attack carried out by a Somali refugee using a machete to attack students, CNN suggests that American women wear hijabs to show their solidarity with Somali Muslim terrorists.

Are all murders equal? The short answer is, “yes.” All human killing in general is bad enough. Premeditated and unjustifiable killing is utterly deplorable whenever and wherever it happens. Most people understand the concept. Most, that is, except for the rodent political class.

“I would ask the American people to think about how they can get our government to change these laws and to save lives, and to let young people grow up. That will require a change of politics on this issue,” he said. “If you think this is a problem then you should expect your elected officials to reflect your views.”

Shut up, Barry. Pay attention to the beam in your eye first. How about first condemning your hospital bombing in Kundez, Afghanistan this weekend. You know, the bombing so many are saying amounts to a war crime.

Nineteen are dead and 37 or more injured in the bombing (don’t forget the Afghan war ended last year…) and all the Whitehouse can do is issue a short statement: “‘The Department of Defense has launched a full investigation, and we will await the results of that inquiry before making a definitive judgment as to the circumstances of this tragedy,’ the President said.”

When it is politically expedient to exploit a domestic terror the political class immediately demands action. However, when they are responsible for the deaths, they want to wait before making any judgments. When some idiot murders another, they want to take away all of our guns. When they are the idiots who murder others, it’s just collateral damage. “Oops! Sorry we burned your kids alive. Won’t happen again.”

Again, most people see this glaring difference and inequity. Again, the pols just can’t. Their cover-up artists in the popular press can’t either. The best CNN can do combining the issues of gun violence and war/terrorism is to release a graph showing a disparity between the number of Americans killed between 2001 and 2013 by guns (406,496) and by terrorism (3,380). Their slant is obviously towards the Obama-ite view of changing gun laws and further restricting the freedoms of normal Americans.

Four hundred thousand deaths (taking their numbers for granted) in twelve years is terrible – that’s roughly 33,333 deaths per year. But, statistically speaking and with an eye towards liberty, what about the net effect? The government criminals and their media lackeys never talk about lives saved by guns. In America every year that number approaches somewhere close to 2.5 Million. That’s 30 Million lives saved by guns over twelve years! That’s 75 times as many lives saved as lost due to firearms.

Little of this matters to those degenerates who bomb hospitals full of helpless people. The rest of us are painfully aware that (although imperfect) an armed society is much safer than the alternative (see also the experiences of disarmed citizens faced with the likes of Hitler and Stalin). Least safe of all is an armed government. Yes, Barry, we need policy changes. We need common sense government control. Many lives depend on it.

Today I am pleased to welcome the very first advertiser to the Perrin blog – Top Shelf Cigars of Augusta, GA!! The Top Shelf Ad appears on the left side bar of every page (scroll down a little and you’ll see it). Just click the Image and you’ll be routed directly to Mr. Wilder’s magical world of fine tobacco! When I say this business is Perrin Approved, I mean it. I’m typing this from the comfort of the Top Shelf lounge right now.

Yesterday was the 3rd biggest day ever at the site. Thank you so very much. I may never compete with Drudge of CNN but your support is absolutely amazing.

I stumbled across a few outrageous news stories today while taking a break from some appellate work and professor applications. It occurred to me to write a column or two, and I may in the future, for now I present the stories as links, below. Both come from http://lewrockwell.com/, one of the best libertarian sites on the web.

First, Mac Salvo, from http://www.shtfplan.com/ writes about a Florida high school student turned hero who WAS SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL FOR DISARMING A GUNMAN WHO THREATENED TO KILL ANOTHER STUDENT!!! See: http://lewrockwell.com/slavo/slavo145.html. This story would be unbelievable if we didn’t all know we live in an insane police state. This young MAN needs to sue the school board over it’s idiotic decision. At the very least he should refuse to return to such a F–ked up school. If there’s any alternative (home schooling, GED, private school) he should take it. A private school nearby should give him free tuition. The community needs to rally around this hero and demand the entire school board and anyone involved in this injustice resign immediately. These thugs should be run out-of-town. If not, they should be recalled or booted during the next election. Read the story!

Second, the great Jeff Berwick of http://dollarvigilante.com/ writes about President Sotoro’s plans to further enslave our children. His article is called The Coming Hunger Games – http://lewrockwell.com/berwick/berwick86.1.html. I was just talking to a friend last night about the Prez’s 2008 comments about wanting a domestic army as strong as the regular army. We do not need such a force. We already have DHS purchasing tanks by the 1,000s and ammunition by the 100s of million of rounds and NorthCom stationing regular troops within our borders. What we really need is State civilian VOLUNTEER militias! We do not need to sacrifice our children at the altar of satanic government. The greasy, despicable Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has introduced H.R. 748 for this purpose. Write your representative and senators and command them to not only defeat this evil, but sanction Rangel for daring to bring it to the House. Read Jeff’s article. He advocates taking your children and fleeing the USSA (his business). I will use a different approach – one from the Hunger Games. If my beloved daughter is ever drafted for this or any other reason, I will volunteer to take her place. Then, let the fragging commence!

Enough is enough! I’m fired up, but for now I have to get back to work. Take action folks!
